Dolphins stay active

Miami was wheeling and dealing during Round 3.

After sending wide receiver Davone Bess to Cleveland (see below), the Dolphins traded their second pick of the round (No. 82 overall) to the New Orleans Saints for a pair of fourth-round selections—No. 106, which the Saints had just obtained in the Chris Ivory trade (see below), and No. 109.

Then, it traded back into the third, packaging No. 109, a fifth-round pick (No. 146) and a seventh-round selection (No. 224) to the Green Bay Packers for pick No. 93, which the Packers got in its second deal of the day with the San Francisco 49ers (see below). Miami took Utah State cornerback Will Davis with the Packers' pick.

Jets complete trade for Saints RB Ivory

Not long after drafting Geno Smith in the second round, the Jets added another potential backfield starter. They acquired running back Chris Ivory from New Orleans in exchange a fourth-round pick (No. 106 overall).

The Jets were rumored for weeks to be in the mix for Ivory, even after they signed versatile Mike Goodson as a free agent. New York now has Ivory, Goodson, Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight in its backfield.

"He's a very physical, violent runner," general manager John Idzik said of Ivory. "He's got size, he's got speed and runs with attitude and plays with attitude."

Ravens move up for K-State's Brown in deal with Seahawks

The Ravens under GM Ozzie Newsome are known for being savvy drafters, but the Super Bowl champs’ heralded defense lost Ray Lewis, Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe this offseason, causing fans to wonder if the team could even return to the playoffs in 2013.

After getting hard-hitting safety Matt Elam in the first round, Newsome added another quality piece to the defense in the undersized yet super-athletic and aggressive Arthur Brown. Newsome had to trade up with the Seahawks—swapping spots in Round 2 (Seattle got pick No. 62) and also giving up fifth- and sixth-round picks (Nos. 165 and 199, respectively)—to get Brown at No. 56.

Seattle took Texas A&M running back Christine Michael with the 62nd pick.

Brown, the older brother of Eagles running back Bryce Brown, is an easy player to be excited about while watching him on film. He has unique speed, range and lower-body explosiveness for a linebacker.

Despite being the fifth linebacker (excluding 3-4 rushers) taken in the draft, he could very well be this class’s best. He has big shoes to fill in replacing Lewis, a sure-fire Hall of Famer.

49ers deal with Packers twice

San Francisco, which traded down earlier in Round 2 with Tennessee, moved up five spots at the bottom of the round, getting the 55th overall pick from Green Bay for the 61st overall selection and a sixth-round pick (No. 173). The Niners took Rice tight end Vance McDonald. The Packers selected Alabama running back Eddie Lacy at 61.

The teams pulled off another trade in the third round. Green Bay traded its third-round pick (No. 88) to San Francisco for the 49ers' fourth- (No. 93) and seventh-round (No. 216) picks. San Francisco selected Auburn defensive end Corey Lemonier. Green Bay later traded No. 93 to the Miami Dolphins (see above).

Dolphins send Bess to Browns

Miami dealt wide receiver Davone Bess to Cleveland on Friday. Bess, in turn, has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Browns, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The new deal will run through the 2016 season.

To get Bess, the Browns traded their fourth-round pick (No. 104) and fifth-round pick (No. 164) to the Dolphins for Miami's fourth-round pick (No. 111) and a seventh-rounder (No. 217).

Chargers snag Te'o after move up

San Diego ended the Manti Te'o drama early in Round 2 by taking the Notre Dame linebacker with the 38th overall pick. The Chargers sent their second-round pick (45th overall, which became LSU linebacker Kevin Minter) and a fourth-round selection (No. 110) to the Arizona Cardinals to secure Te'o.

Te’o is projected to start inside in the Chargers' 3-4 scheme alongside Donald Butler and eventually assume control of the middle of the defense.

After getting a top offensive lineman (Alabama's D.J. Fluker) in Round 1, the Chargers' new regime gets what it hopes will be its defensive leader with its second pick.

Titans move up for Hunter

Tennessee made a trade with the San Francisco 49ers at the start of Round 2 Friday, moving from 40th overall to 34th. The Titans used the pick on Tennessee wide receiver Justin Hunter.

For moving down to 40, San Francisco also acquired a seventh-rounder this year (216th overall) and a third-round selection in the 2014 draft. The Niners took Florida State defensive end Tank Carradine at No. 40.

Vikings trade for Patterson

After taking Sharrif Floyd (23rd overall) and Xavier Rhodes (25th), the Vikings traded with the New England Patriots to get a third pick in the first round, which they used on Tennessee receiver Cordarelle Patterson.

It was thought the Vikes would take Patterson at 22 or 25, the latter pick coming from Seattle in the Percy Harvin trade. Instead, the Vikings keep their defense young and give QB Christian Ponder an explosive replacement for Percy Harvin.

The price for Patterson was steep—the Vikings gave New England their next three picks (Nos. 52, 83 and 102), as well as a seventh-round choice—but they obviously feel they only needed to leave this draft with a top receiver.

For New England, the move is classic Bill Belichick—trading back from the first round to acquire more selections. New England now has eight picks this year’s draft. The Pats took SMU outside linebacker Jamie Collins with the 52nd pick, and Rutgers cornerback Logan Ryan with the 83rd selection.

Falcons jump up eight spots

Just two years ago, the Atlanta Falcons traded two first-round picks and more to select Julio Jones sixth overall. They didn’t move up nearly as far, nor give up nearly as much, the Falcons moved from No. 30 to No. 22 to grab Washington cornerback Desmond Trufant.

Atlanta lost Brent Grimes in free agency to the Dolphins and had a gaping hole at cornerback. Sources said they wanted either Dee Milliner or Trufant, with both cornerbacks graded closely together. Getting a cornerback who can start right away was a must for the Falcons.

The Rams, who already moved up early to select Tavon Austin at No. 8, acquired the Falcons' first-rounder (30th overall), a third-rounder (No. 92 overall) and sixth-rounder (No. 198 overall) for the 22nd pick along with a 2015 sixth-rounder. St. Louis selected Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree with the 30th pick and Austin's WVU teammate Stedman Bailey at 92.

St. Louis now recovers some of the picks lost in its earlier trade. Rams GM Les Snead is proving once again to be one of the more creative drafters in the NFL after multiple moves in 2012 as well.

49ers move up to get Reid

With the most picks (13) in the 2013 NFL Draft and few major needs, the San Francisco 49ers were rumored to be strong contenders to move up and get a premium player.

After seeing Texas' Kenny Vaccaro selected 15th overall to New Orleans, the 49ers decided it was time to get help at safety.

The 49ers traded up from pick No. 31, also giving up their third-round selection, to the Cowboys' selection at 18 overall to select LSU safety Eric Reid.

Thought to be the second-best safety after Vaccaro for most teams, Reid was rumored to be considered an option for the Cowboys, Bengals and Rams.

The Cowboys move down 13 spots, picking up the 74th overall pick as well, but still have needs on the offensive line, interior defensive line and safety. They selected Wisconsin center Travis Frederick at 31 and Baylor wide receiver Terrance Williams at No. 74.

Bills-Rams swap

Excited Bills fans had to wait a little longer for their team to select a potential franchise quarterback in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Buffalo traded down in the first round, sending the eighth overall pick to the St. Louis Rams, who selected West Virginia receiver Tavon Austin.

With the No. 16 overall pick they received in the deal, the Bills selected Florida State QB EJ Manuel.

Austin, long speculated to go in the top 10 despite being a 5-foot-9 and limited as a route runner, is the most intriguing playmaker to enter the draft in recent years.

With the Rams having little receiving help around Sam Bradford after the loss of Danny Amendola in free agency, they decided to be aggressive Thursday night.

For moving back to No. 16, the Bills added picks 46, 78 and 222 overall while giving the Rams their third-round pick, 71st overall. Buffalo now has more options to fill needs at receiver, guard and defensive end. It selected Oregon inside linebacker Kiko Alonso with the 46th pick.

Dolphins trade up for Jordan

After two “expected” selections to start the 2013 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins made a splash with the third overall pick.

Trading up from No. 12 to the Raiders' spot at No. 3, the Dolphins continued their aggressive offseason.

But instead of filling one of their two biggest needs, cornerback or offensive tackle, Miami went with athletic defensive end/outside linebacker Dion Jordan of Oregon.

Jordan likely will be rushing the passer opposite Cameron Wake, giving the Dolphins a unique pass rushing duo for years to come. Add in the fact that Jordan can play in space well enough to be a situational linebacker, and Miami now has unique versatility in its front seven.

The Raiders, who didn’t have a second-round pick to start this draft thanks to the Carson Palmer trade two years ago, got the 42nd overall pick in the draft with this trade along with moving down to the 12th overall spot. Oakland used the No. 42 pick on Florida State offensive tackle Menelik Watson.
